Return to Overview

If a staple jam occurs inside the saddle stitcher unit of the Booklet Finisher-A1, a screen prompting you to remove the jammed staples appears on the touch panel display. Check the location of the staple jam, and follow the procedure described below, and the procedure that appears on the touch panel display, to remove any jammed staples.

Remark
